involved in being visited by him, as any can
didate for the Office will readily agree.

THERE is no accounting for tastes. The lover
of chess is being of peculiar endowments, and
a game played by correspondence with oppo-
nent at the other end of the State may be to
him a wildly exciting and absorbing affair To
the ordinary individual, however, with genius
for chess such a game seems to partake of the
tameness of ''unkissed kisses" or of base ball
match postponed on account of the weather.
This being the case, the interest of the general
public in the coming contest between the Frank
fort and Indianapolis clubs is likely to lack
somewhat in intensity.
